What healths careers are involved in organ transplantation?


I have this question due tomorrow for my biomedical technology class. I was wondering if anyone knew what health careers are involved in organ transplantation?

that's actually a funny question I worked in organ transplant before.

RN - There are several roles for nurses in organ transplant. the nurse does everything from managing the donor, allocate the organs, work with the recipients

Transplant surgeon - they recover the organs and transplant

Histotechnologist - the do the genetic testing to make sure the organs are a good match. They also do testing to make sure the donor doesn't have any communicable diseases

Courier - they move the organs from one place to another, take lab specimens to different labs

Surgical technicians - they help the surgeons recover the organs

Organ placement specialists - they place the organs for transplant, run the lists, fax charts, ets
